An apparatus having an engine-driven generator wherein the fuel tank, engine, air cleaner, muffler and battery are arranged in accordance wi th a space-saving design, and the size of the fuel tank is maximized. This is accomplished in part by placing the fuel tank and muffler at different elevations, so that the muffler does not limit the footprint of the fuel tank. In particular, the fuel tank is supported at an elevation above the engine, while the muffler i s attached to and disposed on one side of the engine. The muffler occupies a space located between the battery and the air cleaner. The muffler outlet is disposed at an elevation lower than the elevation of the engine exhaust port . |
